i'm not trying to be stupid.
and i'm sorry,
really.
But these aren't choices.
THey're not that conscious,
really.
i'm just
doing what seems right.
i just want to be happy.
and it's hard sometimes.
apparently nothing's what it seems.
You'd think i'd learn not to trust,
after all this,
not to rely on what i feel.
You'd think a girl like me
would learn.
:sad smile:
i know what it looks like
to you.
but i'm not naive,
I'm Not!
i just don't care.
I know what's going on.
i understand
and i know i don't deserve this,
but it's not punishment.
it's just my life,
the way things are,
so i just don't care;
i don't know why.
It doesn't matter,
really.
It might
but
to who?
I don't care,
really.
Neither does anyone else.
Sometimes i wish they would,
maybe they should.
The point it they don't.
so i just don't care.
because there's still this goal.
because i'm kind-of willing to be hurt,
for a chance at happiness.
I'm just looking for the good,
because there's so much bad already.
Maybe that's wrong,
but i don't think so.
I'm not trying to find the bad things,
but they still, somehow, find me.

Good one. I couldn't stop reading it. The short, choppy lines were kinda distracting though. Other than that, good job.

I liked the poem overall let me tell you I can relate..I just wrote one a few days ago actually called hopeless time that expressed how much I'm at that point of not caring and yet some how I still seem to!..grr..frusterating isn't it! One thing I would say as a suggestion is the repetitve use of "really" I can see were you are trying to make a point but it is a little distracting. But It's just a suggestion if you like the point that the use of the word is making than don't mind me! Enjoyable read.

I loved it. I think it's one of the best poems you have posted. And remember...don't let the bad bring you down...let the good keep you up.
